"The world is big. Some people are unable to
comprehend that simple fact.

They want the world on their own terms,
its peoples
just like them and their friends,

its places like the manicured little patch on which
they live.

But this is a foolish and blind wish.
Diversity is not an abnormality but the very reality of our planet.
The human world manifests the same reality and will not seek our
permission
to celebrate itself in the magnificence of its endless varieties.
